Wow! It is Thursday and you all know what that means....Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting Tablescape Thursday!
You can click on the photos to make them larger.
The Orange Rooster pattern is one of my very favorites. The yellow and orange are such happy colors. In October they remind me of the colorful maple and oak trees but when I use them in July they remind me of a summer sunset.

The dinner plate.
The square luncheon or salad plate.
The dessert plate.
The soup/salad/pasta bowls were the first pieces I found at TJMaxx. I had a hard time finding enough dinner plates, square luncheon plates and dessert plates so I put out a SOS...thankfully my friend, Jayne, of A Grain of Salt , graciously offered to check the stores in her area. Once located, she mailed them to me. It was like Christmas opening that package!
Jayne also found the cute little pail, upper left, in front of the rooster...which I use for breadsticks.
I found several serving pieces after the initial soup bowls so I snatched them each time I saw one I didn't have as they seemed to be a hot seller at the time!

Wow, that looks wonderful!
The colors are perfect for this time of year too!
You have so many beautiful pieces..
I love that tablecloth! I will look when I can get out!
M, what a great looking table! Nice to see it all spread out together. I was happy to help you find more pieces... anytime!
Gorgeous. There's just something about a fall tablescape (sigh) I could look at them for hours. Love your plates :-)
VERY pretty tablescape...love the dishes. However, kitty in your header is the most beautimus of all!
Now that's a beautiful fall TT.
I also liked your last post with the pink/red dishes. Never seen that set before. LOVE IT.
Happy TT
Love Claudie

What a warm & happy table! Your dish collection is wonderful & I like that it grew over the years & wasn't purchased all at once in a box. The little bucket for breadsticks is a very creative use, I must say.
I'm also very impressed with your floral arrangement. You must have been a florist in another life. :D
Very pretty TT!!!

I'm so working with what I have on hand! You did a lovely centerpiece shopping at home. I love the rooster dishes, too.
Great find with those pretty dishes -- and as great as they look all together...they could each stand alone too -- pretty tablescape!
You were so lucky to find more dishes. I think I also saw them at my TJ Maxx. They are very festive for this time of year and I love the idea of using them in the summer too. Come by and join my first giveaway!
Just passing by, but had to stop to say how much I love your beautiful Fall table setting today! First and foremost, I LOVE the roosters! I love your tablecloth, and your very pretty flower arrangement too! Happy Tablescape Thursday! ~tina
These dishes look gorgeous on your table. Isn't it fun when you are on a quest to find something and then you find it!

What a pretty fall tablescape! I love the rich colors and the plates! Beautiful job! Miss Bloomers/Sonia
That's beautiful, Mimi! You have a knack for putting together a really warm, lovely tablescape. I have the same rooster platter but have NEVER seen the plates. OMG girl, I'll be running to TJ Maxx as soon as they open!
Thanks for visiting me, and thanks for the inspiration!
Andrea
I remember when Jayne helped find these - that is probably why I always associate you with them whenever I see this pattern.
Oh Mimi! you are so right, winning my giveaway what just add even more stunning pieces to your collection! I really do LOVE this set!!
Go luck to you!!
